Beautiful. I really like the movement of colors from the sea to the sand up to the rock and grass. Also the detailing - like filling in those arched gateways and the little black cheesewedges. Blogged.

First thing I noticed were the different shades of blue going from sand to water, but I see everyone else already mentioned it as well. Regardless, it really looks good. Also enjoyed the great details on the castle, the lattice window as a portcullis also caught my eye. Thanks for sharing!

Well, hate to admit this, but I had to goto the dictionary to figure out what you were talking about A fancy middle english word for castle gate. It seems they have words for everything these days. Now that I know what you mean, thanks

I'm more of a quick study than either a wizard or genius. I used several cheats: 1) non-production trans lights - kelso idea 2) 2009 white round towers from echo base 3) 2009 dark brown pillars from medieval market for palm trees . These pieces happen to be on my desk when I was thinking about how to do small trees.

As others have said, this is great. A real gem. The landscaping is very pleasing.
